Car Hire Bugibba

Introduction

Bugibba is a popular destination on the island of Malta, which boasts an abundance of bars and restaurants geared towards the many tourists that flock here each year. What it lacks in the way of traditional Maltese architecture, it more than makes up for with its many entertainment options and the picturesque St Pauls Bay.
From the harbour you can see St Paul’s Island, which is apparently where St Paul himself was supposedly left after his boat was shipwrecked in the 1st century A.D. As Malta enjoys a hot, dry climate for a large part of the year, it is an ideal destination for those wanting to guarantee a spot of sunshine.
